I am reminded that there is no god or justice in this world, knowing that the dude who started that conspiracy admitted it was a social experiment, and it was still going viral

ShowHey here’s a crazy idea. We don’t need social experiments to confirm that fash will pick up and amplify anything that gets their message across
"the division that goes by the callsign of Freikorps, which is German for volunteer corps. Meant to be a sign of their dedication, despite it not actually being an all volunteer force"
Had to look this one up, and hoo wee what a read
On 22 June 1941, the day Germany attacked the USSR, [Bandera] formed the Ukrainian National Committee. The head of the Committee, Yaroslav Stetsko, announced the creation of the Ukrainian state on 30 June 1941, in German-captured Lviv. The proclamation pledged to work with Nazi Germany. The Germans disapproved of the proclamation, and for his refusal to rescind the decree, Bandera was arrested by the Gestapo [lol get rekt].

If you're new to the lore, Bandera is actually kind of a cornerstone of ukro-nazi ideology. There was even a Ukrainian diplomat who got on a German radio show and denied Bandera being a perpetrator of the Holocaust (ordering his followers to exterminate Jews, Poles, Russians, etc.) He was later re-assigned to some other position because Poles and Germans were very upset by this.
But that's overly specific, more broadly you can see OUN iconography all over Azov fashion and even that slogan "Slava Uka'ini!" that they got liberals repeating is heavily associated with the Banderites. Honestly it's just an endless stream of this shit, including Zelensky himself defending the cult of personality around, I again must emphasize, this leader of Holocaust perpetrators.
That moment when you're actually more ideologically Nazi than the Nazis
Like, if you wanted any denialble plausibility, you'd go with Desperado or Zorro
These Nazi fucks can't even do that
They would still have to come up with an excuse for this monstrous flag present literaly everywhere across the country.
"Ah yes you see, the black is Zorro's mask and and and uhhhh.... the red? Yes the famous roses! Zorro our man loves roses!"
It's such obvious bullshit that I'm convinced it has to be a flex. "Look how blatantly we can get away with lying"
I have no idea where you'd even begin trying to find this by now, but there is a video out there from pretty early in the war with some azov fuck bragging and laughing about how easy it was for them to fool the western media into buying their "we're totally not fash anymore, honest" line.
So yes, you are 100% correct.
The only reason they fooled the Western media is because the Western media deliberately worked to be fooled.
This is as lame as their explanation for the Wolfsangel. "No, it is actually an I and N, signifying 'Idea of the Nation'. Ignore why a Ukrainian nationalist organization would have their slogan in English and why the I and N are in angular and different sized fonts..."
after the actor
That's some grade-A copium. I bet it's to convince Poland, "see we totally don't praise a fascist"
His buddy is called Adolf. You can't make this shit up.
He is most definitely a fan of 19th century German mathematician Adolf Hurwitz.
117th Brigade
Bulletproof excuse to make your callsign "Master Chief" and you chose the Nazi dog whistle instead? Weak sauce.
Using the call sign Göth, you know like 19th century Austrian historian and naturalist Georg Göth.
i love dressing in the Göth style, as well as doing makeup in the Göth style (i try to make my face look like his)
